New Firmware for thew BSP 1.3.0.23

[Terrym]

Hi all, The Latest Fw 1.3.0.23 is out please down load the new mcc from the Arturia site and install this first then update the firmware.
Loads of new features.
Beatstep Pro FW release notes
V 1.3.0.23
Features
* Wait to load pattern (activated in the MIDI Control Center): when Wait to load pattern is On, it waits until the end of the pattern to switch
* Chaining pattern: Up to 16 patterns can be chained for each sequencer to create longer sequences. Use SHIFT + SEQ1, SEQ2 and/or DRUM and press the step buttons in the order of your chain.
* SHIFT + KNOB : Changes are applied to all the steps of the pattern using one knob. KNOB 1 is used for RELATIVE changes and KNOB 2 for ABSOLUTE changes. Velocity, Gate and Shift can be modified this way.
* Input MIDI channels can be set using SHIFT + CHAN combination.
* BeatStep Pro stays in sync when changing the time resolution or playback direction, by calculating the new playing position.
* SHIFT + PLAY restarts the 3 sequencers, quantized to the next Drum step.
* Hold notes triggered by pads in CONTROL mode when switching to another mode.
* Gate lengths have now a minimum value regardless of the tempo. The Minimum duration of a Gate is 3 ms.
* Copy patterns between SEQ1 and SEQ2: to copy a pattern from SEQ1 to SEQ2 : set the BeatStep Pro in SEQ1 Mode, then hold SAVE + SEQ2 + STEP in this order to save
* Saving patterns feedback: A dot is displayed at the bottom of the pattern number on the sequencer's display if the pattern is modified
* BeatStep Pro shows the used patterns when saving: when pressing Save to save a pattern (SEQUENCER 1, 2 or DRUM) patterns which are not empty light up in white
* 7-segment displays blinking modification on pattern save
* The last used project will be loaded when the unit starts
Fixed Bugs
* Real-time recording improvements
* No lose synchronization when USB clock is used.
* MIDI output channels and Metronome state are now properly recalled
* no more knobs jump to 0 when turned fast
* Pads no longer lit when MIDI notes are triggered if SHIFT or DRUM or SEQ1/2 buttons are pressed
* Knob acceleration enhancement
* Looper reverse mode enhancement
* Mute mode enhancement
* Changing projects enhancements
* The Roller continues to play when touch strip is pressed before the pad

Hey thanks for the new Firmware !

seems SHIFT + Knob 1/2 don't change the pitch of the Notes ... can somebody confirm the problem ?
also seems i can't adjust the DRUMS settings with the Knobs anymore - shift/velo/gate

This feature is only for vel and gate and not note data.
What do you mean adjust the drums?

Seems like a nice update. I did not see mentioned a fix regarding cv clocks issue reverting to how it worked before last update...Is this been dropped ? ( major concern for modular users...)

Hey, maybe my paper weight just turned useful

I will cancel as many plans as possible tomorrow, really want this to deliver!!!!

[koochey]

ohh ok !
#Problem solved: my SWING was not on 50 - so the SHIFT had no effect !
thanks

[Terrym]

ohh ok !
seems SHIFT doesn't work on my drums - by SHIFT+KNOB 1/2 or even if i try to SHIFT single steps

Only for Vel and gate and not shift or pitch

Im not up on what your problem is but no this has not been changed , i think i read somewhere you have to change the connector from a ts to a trs or something like that.

SHIFT seems also working (without SWING ofc)- like in the Updatesheet described

Anyone using this with Cubase Pro 8 and know if it has fixed the DAW crashing?

There you are : http://forum.arturia.com/index.php?topic=85763.0

As said in this thread, TRS is not a solution...It was working before...And I really thought we could trust Valentin' voice...

Will there be a video going over the changes?

Woohoo!  Now I might sound a little needy, but can we have an updated manual?

The wait-to-change-pattern feature is nice, though just the last week I've been really getting my ear in on flipping patterns and changing clock rates on the new bar and also coherently dropping-in patterns in a 'drum-fill' type way

The way the BSP pushes me into actual hands-on conducting of programmed sequences and live manipulation of the patterns is growing my live composition skills.
I'm still using a linear sequencer to run polysynths but as far as the monos are concerned, they are all run by the BSP now (with percussion duties being shared, poly-rhythms FTW!)
